SPOILER ALERT

I really couldn't get into this book. It was all right, I guess, but Sus5an was so naive I wanted to slap her. She was eighteen, but she seemed as young as twelve sometimes. And I don't understand why her family wasn't angry with her at the end, seeing as how she had stupidly given her uncle (a known thief and n'er-do-well) access to her aunt's apartment and he burglarized the place as a result. Were teen girls really this trusting back in the eighties? Is it just my jaded twenty-first century viewpoint? ( )
